Becoming an Artist in Residence

Voices of the Wilderness

An Alaskan artist-in-residence program where participants are partnered with a wilderness specialist to join in projects such as research, monitoring and education in a remote wilderness setting.

 

The 2024 summer artist residency information and application will be available here in mid-December.  We look forward to seeing your application!
